Description
Cambridge 14 miles, Bury St Edmunds 16 miles, A14 3 miles, A11/M11 4 miles, Stansted Airport 30 miles (distances are approximate).
The Old Rectory is believed to date from 1860 and has been extensively extended, altered and refurbished over the years to create a substantial family house. Constructed with brick elevations under slate roofs, the house is a fine example of Victorian architecture with elegant and well-proportioned rooms with high ceilings. The accommodation, arranged over 2 floors, is beautifully presented and suitable for a variety of family needs.
Newmarket is recognised as the headquarters of the British flat racing and bloodstock industry and stages some of the finest racing in the world. The town provides a good range of schools, shops and various social and sporting activities including an 18 hole golf course on the outskirts of the town. The property is also within about a 10 minute walk from a branch line railway station with hourly trains to Cambridge and Bury St Edmunds (both about 20 minutes). The University City of Cambridge lies just 14 miles to the west and offers an excellent choice of renowned schools and cultural attractions. The city has become the centre of the 'high tech' industry with the internationally renowned Cambridge Science Park, easily accessible via the A14, which also provides good access to Bury St Edmunds, Ipswich and the East coast ports.
The Old Rectory occupies a delightful, private position within wonderful mature gardens just a short walk from the town centre.
Outside
The property is approached via a long, private driveway with electric gates, leading to an impressive sweeping drive and generous parking area. This sits between the main residence and a substantial four-bay garage, which also benefits from a workshop and additional storage space above. The beautifully maintained, mature gardens are predominantly laid to lawn, complemented by well-stocked herbaceous borders and established trees, creating a private and tranquil setting. A charming summer house offers the perfect retreat during the warmer months. To the side of the property, a pathway leads through the grounds, while a spacious terrace to the rear provides an ideal setting for alfresco dining and outdoor entertaining.
